Just want to come here and say thank you so much, playing since prophecy, never get lucky with ex/div farm, I just try this with full cloister, just got my first Headhunter!
Well Llarold you have done it again. Made 14 div on my first map. May or may not have gotten my first ever divine bIue altar. I pray us simple folk dont get priced out of this one. Just running 5 cloistered on 8 mod maps. Did take the cart scarab and map drop version of atlas to self sustain. Decided to take 10 of those divs from the altars and throw them on these scarabs just in case they get overpriced. Was able to buy 32 maps worth of scarabs. Made three div and some change alone in 5 maps purely off of stacked decks. This is pefect for the weeks i have to work because i can just come home blast maps and be confident im at least making currency to spend on my off week lol. All this to say yet again one of your videos has helped this janky noob 🙏🏻 never stop what you are doing lol
The "Just Get Lucky" strat. On my first league which was crucible i was a clueless bastard running t4 cemeteries for some reason, popped a divination strongbox and got 2 Doctors. That was a crazy headstart.
Reminds me of my accidental "do delirium until I drop a 30-40 div cluster jewel way quicker than you'd think" which somehow happened to me two leagues in a row when I was just doing deli for fun, with only atlas passives and alch and go.
Been also doing this, just cut the magic pack size and take the 5th, also blue altars and "basic currency dupe" works for decks, i do it on jgl valley pay 3div for 10 maps, end up with on avg. 550 decks = 5divs
My strategy for getting a headhunter was: 1) Run a bunch of different atlas and scarab setups trying to find a fun one. 2) Run a random T16 with fragments for gold before bed. 3) Get a headhunter drop.
Mine was kinda the same only that I gambled on card doubling at some point made -20 div with a mageblood card, then made 6/8 the doctor with 1 card just by doubling.. then went to 0/8 I’m done with this league 💀
Farmed my apothecarys for mageblood by using these scarbs with a ritual/delirium tree with blue alters for the early currency dupe. Got 3/5 apothecary dropped using 8mod maps and selling ritual bases/stacked decks funded the remaining x2 cards
How is this considred to be a good strat if you pay 920c in map investmant and your strat to make currency only pays 749c (535x1.4c) of it? the part that made you profit is the random loot of your 8mod maps.
@@ilskar6154 good point. Presumably the extra packs of devoted can drop stuff other than the stacked decks and are contributing to the random loot; but every strategy should be compared to just running basic maps
Ran my 20 map test, and i can say this is entirely big drop based. I got 1 t17 through 20 maps and no big scarab drops, and that slashes the profit of this strat. I only got about 450 stacked decks compared to your 535, but even then the other loot that isnt big drops doesnt make up for the cost of running this. Made about 3 div total according to wealthyexile. Not sure if ill give it another 20 maps it really seems too luck based to be consistent.
did he not use 5x cloister ? you kinda need to use 5 bc the chance stacks and applies to all added packs. i get minimum of 50 decks a map wich would be 1k for 20 maps
@@johannes1022 how are you rolling your maps? what quant and pack size are you looking for? i could see this working if you got that many per map. also what maps are you running with it
@@adamstryker999 i run 8 mods that i self farm. also ritual is important, the respawning mobs can also drop decks again. i really dont know if its worth overall tho bc ritual slows you down a bunch
In my experience of running hundreds of maps farming stacked decks, shrines and ritual are required since they spawn more doedre mobs, especially ritual. Blue altars on jungle valley is very good since you have a decent chance to get currecy dupe early on in the map, although strand is also pretty good. Running 5 doedre scarabs nets you around 35-40% more stacked decks because not only does it give a lot of monsters, the flat percent chance to drop the stacked decks is additive. So with 5 scarabs, you have 5% chance to drop decks. Lastly, running 1 carto scarab is also pretty good if you want to drop twice as many t17 maps, since it benefits from the large pack size of this strat.
@greasefire11 def run the ritual, they drop more stacked decks after the ritual ends. On juicy maps I'd get stacks of 10 or more decks from one ritual.
i just found your channel and subscribed but i have a question on the map options you take. it says T 1-15 map have a chance at becoming one tier higher. aren't these waisted points after 4 voidstones guarantee that all maps are t16?
I tried this for a while... returns didn't cover investment, even though stacked decks were dropping like scrolls. So many people are doing it the scarabs are going up steadily. Switched to 10-essence maps and have been raking in a pretty fat haul for moderately low investment.
ive been farming those stacked decks like that in the last days and i average 23-28 deck per map with 4 div scarabs wich feels bad compared to my friends that drop 40+ each map, no clue what im doing wrong tho. ive asked my friends and no one understands why i drop so little
Yup, we made an update to this strategy. You're better off just running 5 Cloister Scarabs. If you want to push things further, you can fold in Ritual for more shots at Stacked Deck drops, but it is slower.
Id change 2 things: 1. Take ritual to respawn the deodre for extra cards, that can be up to 20 extra cards per map 2. Blue altars instead of red because blue altar atlas nodes give extra pack size afaik 8 mod maps can easily drop 60+ stack decks with this strat
I love that the intended currency to farm is the stacked decks, but their value is absolutely meh and it's all the other goodies that make up the value.
Stacked decks are the majority of the profit in this strategy. They are 1.5c each in bulk, and you drop between 50-70+ stacked decks per map with a good strategy.
@@smoke7877 Well this video shows 535 stacked decks in 20 maps, so 26 stacked decks/map. Explain how you are getting more than double the amount of stacked decks per map. Unless you are full of bs.

If you take ritual the monsters that drop the div cards respawn when you do the rituals, giving around 15-20 additional stacked decks and potentially more per map, along with the chance to roll really big synth or fractured items and the rest of the items in the ritual pool
for this strat you wanna do a tight map. sepulchre is quite nice: Reason being, that doedres mobs can be resummoned by ritual altar. So i specced in 4 ritual altars and ran it on sepulchre with red altars and got 50 avg+
Bro I love your vids. I’m always recommending you on Reddit. Following your build this season just like last and probably will be next also haha. Thank you for the content bro! I’d watch you just farm. Do you stream or have another channel with longer vids or something?

But div beauty ist twice as rare , so the worth is ahhhhhmm 1.5div more worth than the fortunate .... Or is it ? WHO can calculate for me 😅 Same amount of cards , half as Common, but 7 instead of 2 div Outcome .... Ufff
Llarold, I like the channel's content a lot, but unfortunately because you didn't say "The world is your *cloister*" I might have to stop watching. Also, I still remember when I played and I thought her name was "Deirdre" because I hadn't look that closely but that's like, a real name.

Congrats!
Props to whoever can build up the decks without opening them
True
For anyone trying this strat, do NOT use a monstrous lineage scarab, 5 cloisters nets you between 45-65 decks if you have ritual on your atlas.

My personal strategy:
1. Do blight
2. Find 6 stacked decks
3. Open them
4. Get a Doctor from the 6th deck.
The best strat 🤣🤣
The "Just Get Lucky" strat. On my first league which was crucible i was a clueless bastard running t4 cemeteries for some reason, popped a divination strongbox and got 2 Doctors. That was a crazy headstart.

Blight.
i sold my decks at 90/1d not much better rate but i defenitly make profit with the decks alone
Try it with Ritual - it basically respawns the doedre mobs and more stacked decks. Thanks for the guide @Path of Evening!

4 Voidstones, all faves to UGS.
